Oh definitely. I did (and am still refining) a full elimination diet to get good clean data. I cut salicylates, amines (e.g histAMINE), and glutamates. Fedup.com.au is a clunky decades old resource, but the content is no-bs and so valuable.

I have rhinitis flare ups too - I’m not sure I’ve pinpointed exactly what flares mine up, but I most suspect guar gum / xanthan gum. Either as a trigger, or just causing thickening of mucus, which spirals into blocked noses and sinus infection issues and further rhinitis.

What really helps me is lymphatic drainage massage. There’s videos on YouTube showing you how to gently directionally massage the drainage channels to keep your sinuses clear.

It’s trained. Once the body is adapted to burning fat instead of carbs while fasted many people find focusing to be much easier since they’re running on a much more consistent fuel rather than a roller coaster of blood sugar spikes. Think of a slow burning furnace rather than a warehouse full of tinder. Atm you feel better after eating because your body is dependant on that hit. Research time-restricted eating, or as it’s called by most people, intermittent fasting.
